lyrics

Riding bikes, or all alone, I wish I was anywhere else this Friday night.
Taking cues from an online survey, of how to be more happy behind your screen.

Surround yourself with good people, yet I stay at home again.

Straying away from all my past friends just to fall into a circle, and circle the drain again.
I never thought I could lose the power, to grab the wheel and find myself again.
Surround yourself with good people, yet I stay at home again.

So when will I listen and follow you, into the void, with bare bones.
I think it's time for another choice, another leap. How could boring go so wrong?

I wanna waste all my days, driving along the interstate.
I wanna waste and feel nothing as I watch those materials burn.
Feeling rich in physical things, knowing physical things don't last.
I'll hold all my emotions and the fleeting feelings of love.

So when will I listen and follow you, into the void, with bare bones.
I think it's time for another choice, another leap, another try. With another shot I'll wonder why, and how could boring go so wrong?
